Pre-Travel Preparation

What is the best time of year to visit Egypt?

The best time to visit Egypt is from October to April, when temperatures are pleasant for sightseeing and outdoor activities. Winter months offer mild weather, clear skies, and great conditions for touring monuments and cruising the Nile. Summer (May to September) can be very hot, especially in southern Egypt, but coastal resorts remain comfortable. Our team can help you choose the most suitable season for your visit based on your interests and itinerary.

How far in advance should I book my Egypt trip?

It’s best to book your Egypt trip 2 to 6 months before your desired travel date, especially for peak seasons (autumn, winter, and holidays) and popular activities like Nile cruises or guided tours. Advance booking secures the best rates, preferred hotels, and tour slots. Last-minute options are available, but may offer limited choices. Our team can help plan and reserve your ideal itinerary according to your schedule and interests.

What are the visa requirements for visiting Egypt?

Most travelers need a tourist visa to enter Egypt. Visa options include:

Visa on arrival at major airports for many nationalities (single entry, up to 30 days)

Pre-arranged e-visas through the official government website

Embassy-issued visas for longer stays or specific travel purposes
Required documents typically are a valid passport, completed application, and payment. Check your nationality’s eligibility and confirm details before travel. Our team can assist with the latest requirements and application guidance.
